Automating Sfc Scannow with PowerShell
If you want to run Sfc Scannow regularly without having to remember to do it, you can automate it using PowerShell. PowerShell is like a digital assistant for your computer, and it can follow your commands to perform tasks like running Sfc Scannow.

To automate it, you’ll create a scheduled task using PowerShell. This task will run Sfc Scannow on a set schedule, so you don’t have to think about it. Here’s how:

1. Open PowerShell as an Administrator

Just like before, you’ll need administrative privileges to make changes to your system. Press the Windows key + X, and choose “Windows PowerShell (Admin)” from the menu.

2. Create the Scheduled Task

In the PowerShell window, type the following command and press Enter:

schtasks /create /tn "SFC Scan" /tr "sfc /scannow" /sc weekly /d SUN

This command tells your computer to create a task called “SFC Scan” that runs Sfc Scannow weekly on Sundays. If you want a different schedule, you can adjust the “/sc” parameter accordingly.

3. Check and Edit the Task (Optional)

You can view the scheduled task you just created in the Task Scheduler. To do this, press the Windows key + R, type “taskschd.msc,” and press Enter. In the Task Scheduler, you can find your task and make changes to the schedule or other settings if needed.

4. Done!

That’s it! Your computer will now run Sfc Scannow on the schedule you specified. This helps keep your system files in good shape automatically.
